PSA Happy Friends of Angelo Muscat Day to all those celebrating! IYKYK

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Today's chord is Bbm6, the 2 in our 2-5-1 in Ab. Similar to a Bbm7 based on an open Am7, our b&(Ab) on string 4 is moved down 1 fret to become our 6(G), our b3(Db) is on string 3, our 5 is on string 2, & our root(Bb) is on string 1. Bonus points for playing this with one finger.

Here's the full progression. I love how our 2 chord folds into our 5 chord with the addition of just 1 finger. The tension of that Bb7b9 chord is resolved beautifully by our Eb6. Groove on! youtu.be/_JyL8T8I-NE

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Today's chord is Eb6, the 1 in our 2-5-1 in Eb. Based on an open C6, our 5(Bb) on string 4 is dropped to the open string to double our 3(G) on string 2, our root(Eb) is on string 3, & our 6(C) is on string 1. Bonus points for using 1 finger. Root: youtu.be/P5M1l8AcM20

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Today's chord is Bb7b9, the 5 in our 2-5-1 in Eb. Based on an open A7, our b7(Ab)/3(D) pair is on strings 4 & 3, our 5(F) is on string 2, & our root(Bb) on string 1 is moved up 1 fret to become our b9(Cb). I am unable to resist anything resembling a diminished chord. Root: youtu.be/4johQSTVdrc 1/

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Today's chord is Fm, the 2 in our 2-5-1 in Eb. A fabulous sounding minor triad, & one of my favourite sounding minor chords on uke, our b3(Ab) is on string 4, our 5(C) is doubled in octaves on strings 3 & 1, and our root(F) is on string 2. Groove on!

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Give it a whirl anywhere you have/want/need a C triad. It's a groovy sound. It looks hard. If you can play an open G7 you've got 3/4 of the chord, just tuck that pinky in on string 1 & you're golden. It's still too hard. Try C6 by leaving string 1 open. 2/

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Today's chord is C6/9. Based on an open A triad, our root(C) is on string 4, our 3(E) is on string 3, our 5(G) on string 2 is moved up 2 frets to become our 6(A), & our root(C) on string 1 is moved up 2 frets to become our 9(D). Where can you use this chord? 1/

I know Chord of the Day lately has seemed more like Chord of the Are You Dead, George? My apologies. That said, I'm off to Northern CA for a wedding tomorrow, so it's gonna be at least another week before I stop being a lame ass. However, one groovy chord to follow. Cheers!

I've made it a point to have very few regrets in life, but not realizing during his election that @fetterman.senate.gov would turn out to be such a fetid piece of distended rectum is certainly one of the very few. What a disappointing human.

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Here's the full progression. Our Cm(add11) is a bit of a stretch if you're new to uke, but such a lovely sound. From there we make a quick shift to move fingers 2 & 3 to strings 4 & 3 to get our 5 chord. Then, the pièce de résistance, we take that same shape and move it from strings 2-4... 1/

101

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Today's chord is Bb6/9, the 1 in our 2-5-1 in Bb. Based on an open A triad, our root(Bb) on string 4 is moved down 3 frets to become our 6(G), our 3(D) is on string 3, our 5(F) is on string 2, & our root(Bb) on string 1 is moved up 2 frets to become our 9(C). Groove on! youtu.be/4johQSTVdrc

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Today's chord is F7, the 5 in our 2-5-1 in Bb. Based on an open E7, our 3(A)/b7(Eb) pair is on strings 4 & 3, our root(F) is on string 2, & to make playing this even easier, we drop our 5(C) on string 1 down to the open string to double our 3(A). Groove on! youtu.be/p8lQMfXSgz0

011

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

You could also call it a Cm(add4), but I want to be sure to differentiate it from a sus4 chord, so I chose to go with 11. Whatever you want to call it, it's still a groovy sounding chord. If you can play a G7, this is just a slight stretch to play that'll make your G7 seem even easier. Groove on! 2/

000

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Today's chord is Cm(add11), the 2 in our 2-5-1 in Bb. Based on an open Cm triad, our 5(G) is on string 4, our root(C) is doubled in octaves on strings 3 & 1, & our 5(G) on string 2 is moved down 2 frets to become our 11. We could argue about what to call this chord. 1/

101

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Here's the full progression. Our most difficult chord is our 2 chord. If you can (or have) mastered that, the rest of this progression is fabulously easy. To get from our 2 to 5 chord, we just slip finger 1 down to string 1. To get from our 5 to 1 chord, we slip finger 1 back up to string 2. 1/

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Today's chord is F6/9, the 1 in our 2-5-1 in F. Based on an open F triad, our 3(A) on string 4 is moved down 2 frets to become our 9(G), our 5(C) on string 3 is moved up 2 frets to become our 6(D), our root(F) is on string 2, & our 3(A) is on string 1. youtu.be/JNfLPi2SeLw

Today's chord is C9, the 5 in our 2-5-1 in F. Based, unsurprisingly, on an open C7, our 5(G) is on string 4, our root(C) on string 3 is moved up 2 frets to become our 9(D), & our 3(E)/b7(Bb) pair is on strings 2 & 1. Groove on! Root: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sety... 2-5: youtu.be/3QYvBT6ducY

Today's chord is Gm9, the 2 in our 2-5-1 in F. Loosely based on an open Gm7, our root(G) on string 4 is moved up 3 frets to become our b3(Bb), our 5(D) is on string 3, our b7(F) is on string 2, & our b3(Bb) on string 1 is moved down 1 fret to become our 9(A). Groove on! youtu.be/MxSlCQnm7NY

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

I thought we roll with a simple, beginner friendly 2-5-1 in F. Our first chord is probably the most difficult, but if you can handle this open Em, you'll be fine.

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

And of course, I posted with the wrong finger. You can use 3 (or 1 even), but it's probably most ergonomic to use finger 2. Groove on!

011

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Here's the full progression. This 2-5 isn't super satisfying without a bass, but it is dead simple for you beginners. I had considered going with C6 (0000) for our 1 chord to make this progression even easier, & feel free to do so, but I really dug how it resolves to our Cmaj7. youtu.be/6u2X4CD2mtM

011

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Today's chord is Cmaj7, the 1 in our 2-5-1 in C. One of the main major 7th chord shapes, our 5(G) is on string 4, our root(C) is on string 3, our 3(E) is on string 2, & our 7(B) is on string 1.

132

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Today's chord is G9sus, the 5 in our 2-5-1 in C. Based on an open G7, our root(G) is string 4, our 5(D) on string 3 is moved down 2 frets to become our 4(C) to make it a suspended chord, our b7(F) is on string 2, & our 3(B) on string 1 is moved down 2 frets to become our 9(A). 1/

Are we to take Mitch McConnell being on paid Eternity Leave to be his silent endorsement & support for paid Maternity/Paternity Leave? Mitch's Paid Family Leave is a catchy bill title. Most of us just want access to the same health & wellness care that Congress takes for granted.

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Today's chord is Dm7, the 2 in our 2-5-1 in C. Looking like an F triad, but based on a Dm triad, our 5(A) is on strings 4 & 1, our root(D) on string 3 is moved down 2 frets to become our b7(C), & our b3(F) is on string 2. Dig it with a root! youtu.be/7lBTUhqjlMs

Ukulele George @ukuleleg3orge.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Let's look at a simple 2-5-1 that uses a familiar shape in a new context and only takes 1 or 2 fingers. We'll be in the key of C. Strum on!

I didn't mean to take this long to post our resolution, but I broke a tooth a couple weeks back and this last week has rather gotten away from me while I dealt with that. Strum on!
